大型狩猎、性别差异的工作组织以及进化生态学在加利福尼亚和大盆地史前时期的作用：对布劳顿和贝汉姆的答复

我们很高兴Broughton和Bayham承认，在中古时代（约公元前4000-1000年），加利福尼亚和大盆地的大型狩猎活动有所增加，其比例超过了全新世的任何其他时期。然而，他们认为，这仅仅是气候条件变化的结果，而更大的狩猎社会背景在这一发展中几乎没有或根本没有发挥作用。下面的讨论指出了他们的环境决定论中的几个弱点，并展示了对性别差异适应性和工作组织的更全面的分析如何比他们提倡的狭隘的、以动物为基础的方法提供更大的解释力。
We are pleased that Broughton and Bayham acknowledge that there was an increase in large-game hunting during the Middle Archaic (ca. 4000-1000 B.P.) in California and the Great Basin that reached proportions greater than any other interval during the Holocene. They argue, however, that this was simply the result of changing climatic conditions, and that the larger social context of hunting plays little or no role in this development. The following discussion identifies several weaknesses in their environmental determinism, and shows how a more comprehensive analysis of genders differentiated fitness and work organization provides greater explanatory power than the narrow, fauna-based approach they advocate.
